We are in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia! We arrived about an hour later than expected due to a weather delay in Washington DC. Other than that, all of the travelling went great. Smooth flight and all of our luggage! We hopped in the van with Barney (our driver) when we got to Vienna and drove about 4 hours to the town of Banska Bystrica in Slovakia. We are checked into the YMCA hostel, we went and ate a really late lunch and we are meeting in one hour for a little debriefing time and then dinner at 8:00. After that we will get to go to bed... we are pretty tired! The 4 hour ride on the van went pretty fast because most of us were fast asleep. Right now we have about an hour to get settled in, shower and hang out. Below is a team picture before our flight from RDU to Washington DC. 
The 5 girls on the trip (Charity, Lindsay, Rae, Christy, Jordan), standing right in front of the hostel. Behind us you can see what the road looks like that the hostel is on. 
Some of the boys at the entrance to the hostel.
We will head out in the morning for church and then do some exploring around the town and preparing for the week. Thanks for praying for us and the time we have here!

Rose Ann and I are glad you made it safely, wish we were there with you. Tell Charity and Jason that 'mom' is doing well and is home now. Bella is Bella, what more can I say.
